IPL 2025: Can Dhoni Turn CSK’s Season Around?

Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has previously led the team to five Indian Premier League titles, has once again taken charge following the injury to regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad. Dhoni’s leadership has long been hailed for extracting peak performances from fellow players and for his strategic brilliance on the field.

However, in a recent match against Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings suffered a heavy defeat. Today, the team faces Lucknow Super Giants, and with the toss going in their favour, Mahendra Singh Dhoni opted to bowl first. Fans are hoping that Dhoni will revive his signature captaincy magic in today’s encounter.

Dhoni announced two changes in the Chennai Super Kings lineup for today’s match. Ravichandran Ashwin and Devon Conway have been replaced by Craig Overton and Sheikh Rashid. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants have made one change, bringing Mitchell Marsh back into the squad.

So far this season, Chennai Super Kings have played six matches and have lost five, placing them at the bottom of the points table. In contrast, Lucknow Super Giants have secured four wins out of their six matches.
